After President Donald Trump's ascension to the most powerful position in the world, some unexpected figures have come to be mastheads of a collection of Trump critics known as "the resistance."

Among these is Dictionary.com, which continued on Thursday a long tradition of trolling Trump using his favorite medium: Twitter.

It started when the President went on a common Twitter tirade decrying the Special Counsel investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election:

If you thought "Russia, Russia, Russia!" sounded familiar, Dictionary.com did as well:

The website defined the word "Palilogy," using the classic television character Jan Brady of The Brady Bunch lamenting the attention given to her older sister with a now-famous phrase: "Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!"

Twitter wasn't ready.

It's also far from the first time Dictionary.com has trolled the president.

When Donald Trump spelled "collusion" as "collussion," the site tweeted this:

And it was quick to respond when Trump said people of faith led the abolition of civil rights.

And when Trump sided with Putin over his own intelligence officials at the infamous Helsinki summit, they threw shade again.

If you look up "Resistance" in the dictionary, you just might find a picture of Dictionary.com.

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
